Review: Great Black...iest paint!! Potential durability fix. Amazing paint - As most other have said, this is some really amazing blackness. I would compare it to the soul of my ex - black hole soul dark, stuck in a sealed cave dark. Dark. Dark. Dark. The manufacturer recommends airbrushing multiple thin layers for maximum effect. I both brushed and airbrushed and it certainly is the case that airbrushing works best but it's not a crazy difference between using two or three coats of brush. The soul sucking black is still there. People have mentioned durability and adhesion issues and I agree this will never be a just slap it on and go paint for anything... HOWEVER...I airbrush a lot and decided to run it like I run all my airbrush paints and tested it mixed with Createx Matte UVLS clear as I would most other paints where durability is an issue. Visually...no discernible difference. I woke up and gave it a rub test...the test panels that is and the UVLS is definitely more durable. I also spilled the blackest black paint in the world because that's something I would do so I did a quick brush paint from the spilled paint on a little air purifier. No primer or anything, pic included here from shiny white plastic to black hole dark. As others have noted, it looks almost fuzzy but it's not. This is a really great paint and just fun! I paint almost everyday but this paint is actually inspiring....beautiful.
Review: Blackest Black you can buy, for real. Don't use Varnish. Good coverage and value. - I reviewed this before, but I love this product so much, I just have to review it again: This is verified by both me, and Reddit (for whatever that's worth) to be the BLACKEST most darkest paint on the market. It literally looks like a black hole when dried (key word dried. When applied wet, it looks glossy, so give it time to dry and it'll be the mattest most blackest void paint you can buy). Note that I've used paint from various other sources that claim to be the "blackest" paint: Culture Hustle makes very high quality products, but their Black 3.0 and newer Black 4.0 are NOT as black as Musou Black. They are very dark, I'll admit that, but if comparing photos of Musuo Black and anything from Culture Hustle, you'll see with similar lighting conditions that Musuo Black is distinguishingly darker. There are a few things I've learned about Musuo Black just from using it that I think is worth mentioning: A little goes a long way, but multiple thin layers will result in very dark blacks base. I would do no more than 2 layers, because more after that will be redundant. More importantly, with Musuo Black, you CANNOT use a protective Varnish layer over it! You could, but the result will be your once very black color will become gray with a glossy texture over it. The impact of the black layer is now gone. IF you're looking for a black acrylic paint color that looks very dark (but not nearly as dark as Musuo Black without anything on top of it), I suggest Windsor & Newton's "Ivory Black" then use Glossy / Semi-Gloss Gamvar varnish over top. It actually brings out more blackness due to the varnish. The best method I found for protecting the Musuo Black paint is to frame it with "Museum Quality Anti UV Anti Glare" framing glass. It's expensive, but also, in what few times I've framed something that contained Musuo Black, the most non-reflective glass in the world will still take a LITTLE away from its bare pure black application. Not much, but still there. As a personal aside: I added matte medium for acrylic paint to Musuo Black to see if it could make it even less reflective, but it actually made it MORE reflective and gray in color, which was surprising. So don't follow in my footsteps. If anyone finds a good way to retain "blackness" of Musuo Black as bare when dry, but also applies a protective varnish-like coat on top, then please comment and share, because I experiment with paints and mediums (even unorthodox ones), and for this problem I'm stumped. One year in a dusty room will make it look way less matte. Regardless: Musuo Black is verified by me to be the (current) blackest black color you can buy (other than Vanta Black that we're not allowed to buy anyway). I HIGHLY suggest this item.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much surface can I cover with 3.38 ounces?**
A: Hello there! 100ml bottle will roughly cover 10 sq ft if applied with a paintbrush or roller. Air-brushing will take more paint to cover the same amount of area. Thank you! - DHOUSE USA

**Q: Can I use this outdoors to repaint my house number plaque? (The letters stamped into concrete )**
A: Hello, no this would not be suitable, it is very delicate and would not last long. Potentially you could use a clear top coat to "seal" it but this would take away some of the blackness.

**Q: How can this be applied to a car?**
A: I don't think it can be effectively applied to a car.  The paint is very delicate, almost like powder.  I am pretty sure if you put a top coat on it to try to protect it, it will negate the "flatness" of the paint.  IN addition any top coat would only have the paint to stick to, so I would expect it to peal off very quickly.

**Q: Is this paint airbrush ready or do you have to thin it? my needle size is 0.3**
A: The manufacturer recommends adding about 3~5 water to 10 Paint to use this product.
This product can also be used without diluting it, but paint tends to accumulate on the tip and frequent nozzle cleaning may be necessary.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absorbs Light Like a Black Hole – Perfect for Science Projects!
*by R***. on June 28, 2025*

Musou Black is the real deal. I used this paint for science experiments where I needed to block out as much ambient light as possible—and it absolutely delivered. It absorbs nearly all visible light and eliminates reflections better than anything I’ve ever used. Application was smooth, and the finish is insanely dark. It’s like painting with the void. Great for optical tests, art, or any project where you want the blackest black on Earth. Worth every drop!
